While Jiang Cheng was sleeping carefree, countless people couldn't sleep because of him.
In a small room, a man was hanging in the air, his eyes were dull, his body was covered in scars, one of his feet had been cut into a skeleton by superb knife skills, he kept calling his mother, and it was obvious at a glance that he had a mental breakdown.
Dai Li looked at the testimony in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more shocked and angrier he became. He said, "Hang this damn devil to me until he dies." After saying that, he walked out angrily and ran to the car.
Depart for Meiling Palace.
At this time, Agent Jiang had already gone to bed, but when he heard that Dai Li was visiting late at night, he knew that something was probably going on, so he asked Dai Li to wait for him in the study.
Agent Jiang walked to the study in pajamas, saw Dai Li and asked, "Yunong is so late, what's going on?"
Dai Li stood up and handed the information in his hand to Jiang and said, "Principal, I have found two secret Japanese strongholds in Nanjing overnight, and attacked a person who came out to do something, and got the evidence. That list... is
real."
Agent Jiang looked at the testimony with blood on it, and suddenly threw the testimony on the table and cursed, "Nang Xipi, these ungrateful guys, Yu Nong, come to me immediately - no, don't act rashly."
Agent Jiang walked around twice and said, "From now on, monitor these people closely, but don't do anything rash. I want these bastards to help me pass on some news to their master. Do you understand?"
Dai Li stood at attention and said, "Students understand." He then said, "Principal, the origin of Jiang Cheng is unknown. From the list of penicillin, body armor and other things, we can see that the power behind this person is extremely powerful, and we have to guard against him."
Agent Jiang squinted at Dai Li and asked, "Then what should I do according to your wishes?"
Dai Li was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, "Students only dare to make suggestions, but how can they dare to make decisions for the principal?"
Agent Jiang pointed at Dai Li and cursed, "I don't think there's anything you dare to do. My mother, Xipi, will this seat be reserved for you in the future?"
Dai Li was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again. I have to say that there is a very strange thing about Agent Jiang. He especially likes to curse, but swearing depends on the situation. If you are swearing between two people, it means that he values you very much. He is scolding you.
The more ruthless it is, the more important it is.
Agent Jiang walked around twice and said, "This person is indeed of unknown origin, as if he fell from the sky. I don't want to believe his lies, but we need to use this person now, and we need to use him well, so you are not allowed to touch him."
, now everything is centered on the anti-Japanese war, and as long as it can help us in the anti-Japanese war, I will use it even if it is the Red Party, let alone a businessman who has no idea of his origins."
Dai Li nodded and said, "I understand."
Agent Jiang added, "But Yong Gui Yong does need to be on guard. You can find a way to place some manpower around him, but you must not be discovered. Do you understand?"
Dai Li quickly responded, "Students know that they will never ruin the principal's plan."
In another place, in a dark hut, a man sneaked in and said reproachfully to the middle-aged man opposite, "Why did you suddenly come to Shanghai, sir? Why did you rush to invite me for a meeting?"
The middle-aged man sighed, "I don't want to be so soon, but now the situation has changed. Let me ask you a question, how much do you know about Jiang Cheng now?"
The man shook his head and said, "Not much. He separated all our work. We only know our own little things. And he is elusive. I am not around him anymore this time. But he disappears every time.
After a period of time, and then suddenly, a large amount of materials will appear in the warehouse, and I don’t know when he delivered the materials to the warehouse."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Have you seen his tendency towards the red and white parties?"
The man closed his eyes and shook his head and said, "Let's say he leans toward the White Party. He cares very much about the working people. He also said that he wants us to learn culture and feel some revolutionary consciousness, and he is extremely supportive of the Anti-Japanese War. Let's say he leans toward the Red Party. He
I don't like hanging around with executioners like Yu Qiaqing and Du Yuesheng every day."
The middle-aged man asked again, "Do you think we can contact him?"
The man nodded and said, "I think it's okay. At least we can be sure that he is definitely not an agent of the White Party, and the power behind him is very strong. I think we can try to contact him. If nothing else, let him do it."
If we support some penicillin or something, we can save a lot of our soldiers without having to sacrifice. I think we should take some risks."
The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Be careful when you go out. I understand. You continue to lurk and try to gain Jiang Cheng's trust."
The man nodded and walked out. The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Power up Nanjing immediately."
In the next few days, Jiang Cheng traveled around Nanjing while waiting for the commissioner Jiang mentioned to come to him.
Four days later——
In Shanghai, Weihua Company opened its doors again. The one who was looking after the store today was Lin Huaibu. He looked at the sky and saw that it was not completely light yet. He thought that he would have to work hard today. This business is so good but also uncomfortable. Suddenly he heard what sounded like a noise in the distance.
.
Lin Huaibu suspected what kind of force was causing trouble again, and quickly asked his men to go take a look. At this time, he heard a cry.
"Down with the traitorous company! Down with the Weihua comprador group! Defend domestic products and oppose foreign products."
Lin Huaibu simply doubted his own ears. How could Weihua Company, which had always been doing patriotic business, suddenly become a traitorous comprador? At this time, he had already seen countless people walking towards this direction.
Lin Huaibu shouted, "Close the door quickly, and ask someone to notify Mr. Du and the others." After saying that, he quickly closed the door. He only saw countless people dressed as businessmen and workers holding banners. They did not attack, but kept shouting outside the store.
slogan.
Du Yuesheng was shocked when he heard the news and was completely confused until the disciple outside the door handed in a letter with a name from the China Textile Association, asking why Weihua Company purchased a large amount of foreign cloth and iron, and why it was so difficult to use ten
China's textile and steel industries have developed with some success in 2008. Du Yuesheng's mind turned around and he immediately guessed what Jiang Cheng was doing in Nanjing, and quickly sent a message to Jiang Cheng to ask what was going on.
Nanjing--
"Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng, wake up quickly." Jiang Cheng was pushed awake by Yu Qiaqing. Jiang Cheng rubbed his eyes and looked at the clock. It was not even eight o'clock yet. Jiang Cheng, who had been tired from playing all day yesterday, asked strangely.
"Mr. Yu, what happened? Why did you wake me up in such a hurry?"
"Look, this is an urgent telegram from Mr. Du. What good things have you done?" Yu Qiaqing thrust the telegram into Jiang Cheng's arms and anxiously circled the bed.
Jiang Cheng took the telegram and read it. The main idea was that a large number of workers' strikes suddenly broke out in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places this morning. However, this strike was not against the capitalists or asking the central officials and deputy officials to immediately resist Japan, but against the Weihua Company. He said
Weihua Company is preparing to buy large quantities of cheap foreign cloth and iron, dump them in China, and prepare to destroy China's industry. It is a big traitor and a traitorous company. It begs the government to shut down Weihua Company in order to pacify the world. Now many patriotic young people have begun to attack Shanghai.
The stronghold of Weihua Company, I urgently asked what was going on.
Jiang Cheng was stunned when he saw the telegram. What was going on? Why did he suddenly become a big traitor that everyone shouted to kill?
Suddenly Huang Biao walked in and said, "My boss, that Kong Xiangxi invites you to a teahouse for lunch."
Yu Qiaqing sighed and said, "There is no good banquet. Xiao Jiang, you have to be careful. I think things are not simple this time."
Jiang Cheng swallowed his saliva and nodded. He still doesn't understand why he became the villain.
Yu Qiaqing added, "Go prepare for the banquet and talk to others. Alas! You are still too young."
Jiang Cheng looked at the telegram and then at Yu Qiaqing. He heard that Yu Qiaqing seemed to have guessed something - was he really too young?
At noon, Jiang Cheng arrived at the restaurant with a gloomy look on his face. The banquet was already set up. Kong Xiangxi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. When he saw Jiang Cheng, he walked up to him and said, "Ah, brother Jiang Cheng, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much."
, I wonder what’s going on with brother Jiang Cheng? Why does his face look so ugly?”
Jiang Cheng looked at Kong Xiangxi's smiling face, gritted his teeth and said, "Now I have to cover my face when I go out on the street. How can I feel good? I don't know who framed me like this."
Kong Xiangxi smiled when he saw Jiang Cheng and said, "I've heard about all those things about you. Didn't I come to you immediately to help you? These are just ordinary people making nonsense. Why should Jiang Cheng take it to heart?"
Woolen cloth?"
After saying that, Kong Xiangxi took Jiang Cheng and started drinking. After three drinks, Kong Xiangxi said with a smile, "Actually, these things are easy to handle. As long as Brother Jiang Cheng is willing to let the people see your sincerity, they will naturally believe in you, brother."
He is truly serving the country and the people.”
Jiang Cheng stared at Kong Xiangxi and asked, "According to Minister Kong's wishes, how should I show my sincerity?"
Kong Xiangxi looked at Jiang Cheng and said with a smile, "Now the whole country knows about Weihua Company's penicillin and its miraculous effects. Since Brother Jiang is unwilling to move the factory to China, then if Brother Jiang is willing to contribute the formula of penicillin to the people,
The government and I believe the people will definitely say that Weihua Company is a good company that is patriotic and forgets about home."
He said with a smile and said, "Of course, our National Government will not get it for nothing. I will suggest that the National Government make an exception and issue a Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun. You know, this medal is not awarded except for military merit. This is a great honor, Jiang Cheng
Comrade, you should cherish this opportunity."
Jiang Cheng almost laughed out loud at Kong Xiangxi. He obviously wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he still wanted to seize the opportunity himself.
Jiang Cheng did not express his position but asked, "What about helmets and military uniforms?"
Kong Xiangxi waved his hand and said, "Brother Jiang will only need to issue a statement saying that he will not let a piece of foreign cloth or a pound of foreign iron enter China. Naturally, no one will make any more noise. If there is still someone presiding over strikes and other matters, it must be the Japanese."
Conspiracy, we can resolutely attack it."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do these things."
Kong Xiangxi sighed and said, "Jiang Cheng, I know you are young and have ideas, which are all very good, but your brain is too dead. You have to live a little more and be flexible in everything, otherwise something will happen easily." Jiang Cheng asked
"I don't know how I can live a better life according to Minister Kong's wishes?" Kong Xiangxi thought for a while and said, "If Brother Jiang Cheng is really serious, I think it's okay to do this. You resell those things to domestic companies.
If we then transfer them to the government, wouldn’t they become domestic products?”
What Jiang Cheng heard sounded strangely familiar. Isn't this the so-called domestic truth of many later generations? Jiang Cheng picked up the wine glass and said, "I'm sorry, Minister Kong, I can't do anything you said. I really don't understand those things."
Why do people target our company like this? I will go to Chairman Chiang to demand justice." After saying that, he bowed and left. When Kong Xiangxi saw that Jiang Cheng had really left, he threw the cup down angrily and said, "
This rude guy, I, a member of the Central Committee, stood here and talked to him nicely, and he actually left?"
At this time, a person walked out from behind the screen. This person looked to be in his early 20s, but he had an arrogant and domineering look. He looked at where Jiang Cheng was walking and sneered. It was Kong Lingkan, the eldest son of Kong Xiangxi.
Kong Lingkan said unhappily, "You don't know how high-minded you are, you think you'll be looked down upon by everyone if you hook up with Chairman Chiang? It's really funny. Humph!" After that, he advised Kong Xiangxi, "Dad, don't be too angry.
Are we pushing too hard? I've seen it for a while and we can try to persuade them, but we need to make good use of the penicillin and medicines that have been sent over now."
Kong Xiangxi glared at him and said, "You still have the nerve to say that Jiang Cheng has great supernatural powers and is now extremely valued by the Chairman. I don't want to provoke him, but you insist on fighting him. I have my own sense of proportion in this matter, but this
Jiang Cheng really treats himself as a dish. I don’t know, I think he doesn’t know our strength. We still have to give him some color to see."
Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that the public opinion against him this time must be fueled by the Kong family. Although he didn't know why he was targeting him like this, the only one who could protect him now was Jiang Jie, as long as Jiang Jie said he was patriotic.
Yes, who dares to object? He said to Huang Biao, "Go to the National Government Building."
When Jiang Cheng's request for an interview was placed on Jiang's desk, Jiang was worried about a large pile of documents. These documents all pointed at Jiang Cheng, to the effect that he had heard that the White Army was preparing to purchase foreign cloth in large quantities abroad.
The textile industry in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai was greatly shaken, and people were panicked. There were strikes in various places. They hoped that Chairman Chiang would clarify the rumors and show that he would not give up supporting the domestic industry. Jiang Jie knew in his heart that in just a few days, how could it be so fast?
Word spread all over the country that there would be workers' strikes - this was just a threat from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium, and the leading figure was his good brother-in-law, Kong Xiangxi.
Agent Jiang sighed and looked at the city of Nanjing outside the window. It is difficult to be a poor and weak head of state of China. He still needs the support of these capitalists. Without these people, Chairman Chiang's pocket will not be full.
If the money bag is not bulging, the barrel of the gun will not be stable. From a little gangster to today's step by step agent Chiang understands this truth better than anyone else. Look at yourself and look at the Hitler in the west. It is really a comparison between people, which makes people mad.
oh.
Agent Jiang whispered, "Let Jiang Cheng come in."
When Jiang Cheng came in, he saw Agent Jiang looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Chairman, I have something to report."
Agent Jiang slowly turned around and said, "You don't need to say anything. I know everything about you. This is how I think about it. There is no war yet, so it is really not appropriate to purchase military supplies in large quantities - the matter of military supplies is
Let’s forget it.”
Jiang Cheng said urgently, "Chairman, I am not providing supplies for money. I am really doing it for the people and soldiers. If the government is really in difficulty, I am willing to provide 300,000 sets of supplies for free."
Jiang Zhongzhong waved his cane angrily and walked around saying, "Why are you so ignorant of politics? Will our central government lack your supplies? I have already thought of your words. From now on
From now on, you will be called Gu Quan. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. I call you Gu Quan because I want you to take care of the overall situation. Alas - you have not been in China for a long time and you are still too young. You are too young to be a great person."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel aggrieved after hearing this and said, "Chairman, I am already willing to provide supplies for free, why are you still angry?"
Agent Jiang closed his eyes and asked, "Now they are saying that you are dumping at low prices, and now you are saying that you are providing it for free, do you still want to lose your head?"
Jiang Cheng was shocked and speechless.
Agent Jiang pointed to the door and said, "Think about it for yourself, Gu Quan - some things are not that simple."
On the way back, Jiang Cheng kept thinking, could he be wrong? Did he make a mistake in wanting to provide it for free? Why is it so difficult to do something for the country? At this time, Gallagher suddenly said, "Jiang Cheng, I feel like you are
It's probably because they are blocking the way of some people." Jiang Cheng suddenly understood something when he heard this, and couldn't believe it. "Don't they care about the national interests at all? This is a good thing for me to increase our army."
Just when Jiang Cheng was distressed, Huang Biao timidly said, "Well, boss, someone gave you something."
Jiang Cheng looked at him and asked, "What is it? Show it to me."
Huang Biao said, "When I was waiting for you outside today, I saw a cigarette seller, so I bought a pack, and then I saw this from the cigarette. Although I didn't know what was written, I guessed it was
Someone wanted to show you."
Jiang Cheng took a look and saw that it was a note, which said that at 8 o'clock tonight, 406 of Fuchang Hotel would like to see you.
Jiang Cheng looked at the note and thought for a while, but he couldn't guess who it was. He then thought that his identity was still confidential, so he would definitely not be an ordinary person, so it would be better to go and meet him.
Night has come to this ancient city again. Nanjing Fuchang Hotel is located in Xinjiekou, the central business district of Nanjing. It is a famous "time-honored" hotel in Nanjing. During the Republic of China, it was as famous as the Central Hotel and the Capital Hotel. It was built in
The 21st year of the Republic of China.
The main building of the hotel has 6 floors, which was the tallest building in Nanjing at the time and one of the masterpieces of Western modern architecture at the time. The hotel had the most advanced OTS hand-operated elevator in the world at the time and one of the few in the country (there were only two in Nanjing at the time, one
In the National Government Office Building "Zi Chao Building", the other one is in Fuchang Hotel).
When Jiang Cheng arrived at the Fuchang Hotel, it was a bustling time. In order to deceive others, Jiang Cheng wore glasses and a beard.
As soon as I came in, a foreign waiter asked in broken Chinese, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Well, I'm here to see a friend, room 406."
The waiter nodded and called to check that the guest did have friends coming, so he took Jiang Cheng to the fourth floor. The fourth floor was the guest room. When he came to room 406, Jiang Cheng asked Huang Biao to wait outside and knocked on the door himself. The door opened.
An ordinary-looking young man saw Jiang Cheng and asked, "Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and took off his glasses and asked, "It's me, mysterious, who are you?"
An elegant voice came, "Haha, it's Comrade Jiang Cheng here, come in quickly, Xiao Zhang, you go get some tea."
Jiang Cheng took a closer look and was shocked to see that it was actually Zhou Guansheng, whom he had met once before.
Jiang Cheng stuttered and asked, "Mr. Zhou...Gong Zhou, do you know me?"
Zhou Guansheng smiled and said, "Your Weihua company is so famous, it's hard not to get noticed."
Jiang Cheng nodded awkwardly and asked, "Do you have any advice when Duke Zhou calls me here?"
Zhou Guansheng pointed to the sofa and said, "You're welcome, sit down. The ancients said that Duke Zhou interprets dreams. I, Duke Zhou, am here to explain your dreams."
Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa, took Xiao Zhang's tea and asked, "Does Duke Zhou know that I am confused?"
Zhou Guansheng nodded and said, "Comrade Jiang Cheng, haven't you been feeling very angry recently? Obviously he is dedicated to the country and wants to use his own strength to do something for the country, but he is running into obstacles everywhere. Even Chairman Chiang, who has the highest expectations, suddenly does not support him.
you."
Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "Master Zhou Mingjian, I don't understand either. I didn't steal their money. I came here to give them money. Why are you targeting me?"
Zhou Guansheng laughed loudly and said, "Who said you didn't steal other people's money? If you did, you'd still be robbing big and special."
